Extended data
This poem skillfully adopts the expression of "xing" in art. In the first chapter, the pheasants are singing and falling in love, which raises an association of a lady accompanying a gentleman. In the next chapter, the act of picking shepherd's purse leads to the hero's crazy love and pursuit of women. The language of the whole poem is beautiful, and it is good at using double tones, overlapping rhymes and overlapping words, which enhances the phonological beauty of the whole poem and the vividness of pictophonetic expression.
The identity of the characters in the works is very clear: "gentleman" is a general term for nobles in the era of the Book of Songs, and this "gentleman" occupies a considerable position in preparing the music of harps, bells and drums. I used to interpret this poem as a "folk love song", but I'm afraid it's wrong. It should describe the life of the aristocratic class.
Guan Ju not only admits that the love between men and women is a natural and normal feeling, but also demands that this kind of feeling be restrained to conform to the social virtue. Later generations often take their own needs and extend them, while those who resist the inhuman oppression of feudal ethics often claim the right to satisfy their personal feelings under the banner of official residence.
The Book of Songs, as a teaching material for learning music, reciting poems and writing poems, as a ritual song for feasting and offering sacrifices, is also a tool for quoting in diplomatic occasions or conversations, so as to express ideas.
On the other hand, the social function of The Book of Songs is that the society (including scholar-officials and court rulers) uses it to publicize and practice self-cultivation in governing the country. This is one of the purposes of compiling the Book of Songs, and it is also the content that some scholars strongly advocated and promoted when the Book of Songs came into being.
